Obviously what your brother does not need is just money thrown at him. More people need to step up and lend a hand to those in need rather than sit on the sideline and point fingers. You are always going to have those situations where the person doesn't want help or cannot be helped, but for every one of those i guarantee there are 5 that will gladly take that help and make the most of it.
AMEN!! don't let her brother get those 24's cuz you know they will be sold in a hearbeat. well said man. alot of people will help out one another, sometimes they just need to ask.
